C Dm Am Well the boy he grew to be strong and brave, Dm C But his Mother cursed him Dm not to be given a name.

C Dm Am Then a phantom army by Gwydion's charms, Dm C Am Dm Forced Arianrhod to give Llew his arms. C Dm Am Then in rage and torment she laid down this curse, Dm C "You shall never marry a woman Dm of the race of the Earth".
